Prodoptim Mould Table (Slide Moving Table to Open Moulds)
A Safe, Ergonomic and High-Capacity Mould Opening and Maintenance Table for Injection Moulds
Prodoptim mould tables are professional workshop solutions designed for the safe, controlled and ergonomic opening, closing and maintenance of plastic injection moulds. Recognized across Europe as a standard solution for injection mould maintenance operations, these systems provide critical advantages in terms of workplace safety, speed and operational efficiency-especially in production facilities handling heavy moulds.
Known as a Slide Moving Table to Open Moulds, this system enables controlled separation of the two mould halves, 360° rotation and full access to all mould surfaces. As a result, maintenance, cleaning, revision, assembly and commissioning operations can be carried out significantly faster and with maximum safety.
Purpose of Use and Application Areas
Prodoptim mould tables are specifically designed for the following operations:
• Maintenance and cleaning of injection moulds
• Access to internal mould components and runner systems
• Mould assembly and disassembly
• Mould revision and component replacement
• Pre-production mould preparation
• Mould opening and closing tests
Since these systems operate independently from the injection moulding machine, they increase machine uptime and minimize downtime caused by maintenance activities.
Operating Principle
The Prodoptim mould table is built around a linear-guided moving upper platform. Once the mould is secured to the table:
• The moving table slides linearly away from the fixed table
• The mould halves are separated in a controlled manner
• The moving section can be rotated 360°
• Indexing and locking are possible at 90° intervals
• Mechanical locking ensures secure fixation in the rear position
Thanks to this design, even a single operator can safely open the mould and easily access all mould surfaces.
Model Options and Load Capacities
Prodoptim mould tables are available with different load capacities to accommodate a wide range of mould weights.

Occupational Safety and Ergonomic Advantages
Prodoptim mould tables are designed with a strong focus on workplace safety:
• Eliminates the need for manual mould handling
• Minimizes the risk of mould dropping or tipping
• Enables safe operation by a single operator
• Provides controlled and easy access to the mould
• Allows ergonomic working postures during extended maintenance tasks
As a result, workplace accidents are reduced, operator efficiency is increased and maintenance times are shortened.
Contribution to Production Efficiency
• Increased injection moulding machine uptime
• Significantly reduced mould maintenance duration
• Lower mould service and maintenance costs
• Improved workshop organization and workflow
• Extended mould service life
• Reduced risk of errors during maintenance operations
For these reasons, Prodoptim mould tables represent a workshop investment that typically pays for itself in a short time.
